Inside ETV Endowment

The Gift of Stability

Charitable Gift Annuity

Like many ETV Endowment donors, you may be worried about risk in this volatile market yet want to find a meaningful way to support South Carolina ETV and South Carolina Public Radio programming. A charitable gift annuity (CGA) just might be the perfect solution during these uncertain times.

Despite its complicated name, a CGA is actually very simple. You make a donation of cash or marketable securities, and the ETV Endowment pays you a fixed amount…for life!  

Benefits:

  • Fixed income for life
  • Simple one-page application; most can be processed within two weeks
  • Capital gains taxes reduced or deferred
  • Select immediate or deferred and quarterly or annual payments
  • Take advantage of strong rates in June;  the gift annuity rates are estimated to drop 0.3% to 0.5% July 1!

Additional benefits:

  • If you no longer itemize on your taxes, then the interest rates on a CGA are likely to be even more beneficial because a larger share of each payment that you receive from the ETV Endowment will be tax free.
  • Fixed payments for life to one or two payees age 70 or older for the payees’ lifetimes.
  • Remaining funds become a gift to the ETV Endowment.
  • CGAs can be two gifts in one! First, you make a gift that gives you fixed annual payments for life. If the market goes down, no worries - your income is guaranteed. When the market improves, you can choose to donate future payments to the Endowment, making a second gift to support the programming you love.
